report of its progress to the legislature no later than twenty days prior to
the convening of the regular session of 2021, and a final report of its
findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the
legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the regular
session of 2022.
(e) The working group shall cease to exist on
June 30, 2022.
